Abstract

A process for cleaning and regenerating the surface of asbestos-cement concrete blocks (10) within building structures is novel in that the soiled or weathered face (14) of the asbestos-cement concrete blocks (10) are first coated with a reacting resin paste to form a coating (18) which is allowed to remain in place while the viscosity increases. Before the coating (18) hardens, part of the surface (18, 20) is skimmed off taking with it embedded loose dirt, dust and fibre particles (16, 12) from the concrete surface. The remaining (18) coating is then allowed to harden. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Reinigen und Sanieren von Asbestzementplatten.The invention relates to a method for cleaning and renovating asbestos cement slabs.

Es gibt noch eine Vielzahl von Gebäuden, die mit unbeschichteten oder mit abblätternden Altanstrichen versehenen Asbestzementplatten verkleidet und eingedeckt sind. Diese Platten sind meist grau, angewittert und verschmutzt und dadurch unansehnlich. Es besteht daher ein Bedarf, die Platten zu reinigen und gegebenenfalls zu streichen oder zu beschichten. Da die Feinstfasern des Asbest lungengängig und daher gesundheitsschädlich sind, sind bei der Reinigung und Sanierung von Asbestzementplatten Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zu treffen. Dies gilt vor allem dann, wenn deren Oberfläche verwittert ist. Deshalb ist die Dampfstrahlreinigung und die Hochdruckwasserreinigung von Asbestzementplatten nicht zulässig. Die Reinigung erfolgt heute meist drucklos durch Wasserberieselung verbunden mit mechanischem Reiben mittels Schwamm oder Bürste. Das Reinigungswasser muß in Auffangrinnen unmittelbar aufgefangen, abgeleitet und entsorgt werden. Zum Entsorgen wird das verschmutzte Wasser beispielsweise in ein Absetzbecken geleitet, in welchem der asbesthaltige Schmutz in einem Sumpf aufgefangen, mit Zement gemischt und nach der Verfestigung entsorgt wird. Bei diesem Verfahren wird als nachteilig empfunden, daß die Auffangsysteme sehr aufwendig sind und daß das Wasser schnell abtrocknet und die Asbestfasern wieder freigibt. Hinzu kommt, daß nach dem Reinigen der Oberfläche eine Nachbearbeitung, beispielsweise eine Grundierung und Beschichtung erfolgen muß.There are still a large number of buildings that are clad and covered with uncoated or peeling old asbestos cement panels. These plates are mostly gray, weathered and dirty and therefore unsightly. There is therefore a need to clean the plates and, if necessary, to coat or coat them. As the fine fibers of asbestos are respirable and therefore harmful to health, precautionary measures must be taken when cleaning and refurbishing asbestos cement slabs. This is especially true when the surface is weathered. Therefore, steam jet cleaning and high pressure water cleaning of asbestos cement slabs is not permitted. Today, cleaning is usually done without pressure by water sprinkling combined with mechanical rubbing with a sponge or brush. The cleaning water must be collected, drained and disposed of immediately in gutters. For disposal, the contaminated water is passed, for example, into a sedimentation basin, in which the asbestos-containing dirt is collected in a sump, mixed with cement and disposed of after solidification. This procedure is considered to be disadvantageous felt that the collection systems are very complex and that the water dries quickly and releases the asbestos fibers again. In addition, post-processing, for example priming and coating, must be carried out after the surface has been cleaned.

Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zu entwickeln, mit dem auch stark verschmutzte und verwitterte unbeschichtete Asbestzementplatten gefahrlos gereinigt und saniert werden können und bei welchem der dabei anfallende asbesthaltige Schmutz problemlos entsorgt werden kann.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to develop a method with which even heavily soiled and weathered uncoated asbestos cement panels can be cleaned and refurbished without risk and in which the asbestos-containing dirt which is thereby obtained can be disposed of without problems.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung vorgeschlagen,

  • daß die Asbestzementplatten an ihrer verschmutzten und/oder verwitterten Oberfläche mit einem Reaktionsharz in pastöser Form flächendeckend beschichtet und benetzt werden,
  • daß die auf diese Weise gebildete Reaktionsharzschicht während einer Wartezeit unter Viskositätserhöhung auf der Plattenoberfläche belassen wird,
  • daß anschließend ein Teil der Reaktionsharzschicht in noch pastösem Zustand unter Mitnahme von eingebetteten losen Schmutz-, Staub- und/oder Faserteilchen von der Plattenoberfläche abgetragen, extern gesammelt und ausgehärtet wird,
  • und daß der auf der Plattenoberfläche verbleibende Teil der Reaktionsharzschicht unter Verfestigung ihres Untergrundes ausgehärtet wird.
To achieve this object, the invention proposes
  • that the asbestos cement slabs are coated on their dirty and / or weathered surface with a reactive resin in pasty form and are wetted all over,
  • that the reaction resin layer formed in this way is left on the plate surface during a waiting period with an increase in viscosity,
  • that a part of the reactive resin layer is then removed from the surface of the plate while still pasty, with the entrainment of embedded loose dirt, dust and / or fiber particles, collected externally and hardened,
  • and that the part of the reaction resin layer remaining on the plate surface is cured to solidify its substrate.

Als Reaktionsharz wird zweckmäßig Epoxidharz verwendet. Um die ausreichende Flächenüberdeckung besser überwachen zu können, ist es von Vorteil, wenn das Reaktionsharz mit einem vorzugsweise anorganischen Pigment eingefärbt wird. Um auch bei senkrechten Asbestzementplatten ein tropfenfreies Auftragen zu ermöglichen, wird vorteilhafterweise ein mit einem Thixotropiermittel gefülltes Reaktionsharz verwendet. Als Thixotropiermittel kommen beispielsweise faserförmiges Polyethylen, Glycerinderivate oder Silikatderivate in Betracht.Epoxy resin is suitably used as the reaction resin. In order to be able to better monitor the sufficient surface coverage, it is advantageous if the reactive resin is colored with a preferably inorganic pigment. In order to enable drip-free application even with vertical asbestos cement boards, a reaction resin filled with a thixotropic agent is advantageously used. Examples of suitable thixotropic agents are fibrous polyethylene, glycerol derivatives or silicate derivatives.

Das pastöse Reaktionsharz wird vorteilhafterweise mit einem Flächenstreicher auf die Plattenoberfläche aufgetragen, und zwar vorzugsweise mit einer Schichtdicke von 300 bis 600 µm. Zur Reinigung wird eine Flächenspachtel verwendet, mit der der eine Teil der Reaktionsharzschicht und der darin eingeschlossenen Schmutzpartikel vorzugsweise von unten nach oben von der Plattenoberfläche abgetragen wird. Je nach Schichtdicke werden hierbei 50 bis 90 % der Reaktionsharzschicht wieder abgetragen. Bei einer Topfzeit des Reaktionskunststoffs von 2 bis 5 Stunden wird bis zum Abtragen des Kunststoffs eine Wartezeit von 10 bis 100 Minuten eingehalten.The pasty reaction resin is advantageously applied to the plate surface with a surface brush, preferably with a layer thickness of 300 to 600 μm. For cleaning, a surface spatula is used, with which part of the reaction resin layer and the dirt particles enclosed therein are removed from the plate surface, preferably from bottom to top. Depending on the layer thickness, 50 to 90% of the reactive resin layer is removed again. With a pot life of the reaction plastic of 2 to 5 hours, a waiting time of 10 to 100 minutes is observed before the plastic is removed.

Der abgetragene Teil der Reaktionsharzschicht wird im noch pastösen Zustand zweckmäßig mit den abgelösten Schmutz-, Staub- und Faserteilchen verrührt und erst dann unter Einbindung dieser Teilchen ausgehärtet. In der ausgehärteten Form kann das ausgehärtete Harzmaterial problemlos als Hausmüll entsorgt werden.The removed part of the reactive resin layer is expediently stirred with the detached dirt, dust and fiber particles in the still pasty state and only then cured with the inclusion of these particles. In the hardened form, the hardened resin material can easily be disposed of as household waste.

Der auf der Plattenoberfläche verbleibende Teil der Reaktionsharzschicht dient zweckmäßig als Grundierung und Haftvermittler für eine Deckbeschichtung beispielsweise aus einer lichthärtenden Acrylatdispersion.The part of the reaction resin layer remaining on the plate surface expediently serves as a primer and adhesion promoter for a top coating, for example made of a light-curing acrylate dispersion.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird bevorzugt zum Reinigen und Versiegeln von Fassadenverkleidungen und Dacheindeckungen verwendet.The method according to the invention is preferably used for cleaning and sealing facade cladding and roof coverings.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen

Die in Fig. 1 ausschnittsweise dargestellte Asbestzementplatte 10 weist eine feinfasrige Armierung aus Asbestfasern 12 auf. Asbestzementplatten dieser Art wurden in der Vergangenheit vielfach für Fassadenverkleidungen und Dacheindeckungen von Gebäuden verwendet. Da die Feinstfasern des Asbests lungengängig sind und daher gesundheitsschädlich sein können, wurde die Produktion asbestverstärkter Bauteile mittlerweise auf unschädliche Armierungsfasern umgestellt. Die Vielzahl der bereits verlegten unbeschichteten Asbestzementplatten bedürfen wegen ihrer Oberflächenverschmutzung und Verwitterung jedoch nach und nach der Reinigung und Sanierung. Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine solche Platte 10, die an ihrer verwitterten Oberfläche 14 eine Vielzahl Schmutzteilchen und Verwitterungstaub 16 sowie lose Asbestfasern 12 trägt.The asbestos cement plate 10 shown in detail in FIG. 1 has a fine-fiber reinforcement made of asbestos fibers 12. Asbestos cement slabs of this type have been widely used in the past for facade cladding and roofing of buildings. Since the fine fibers of asbestos are respirable and can therefore be harmful to health, the production of asbestos-reinforced components has meanwhile been switched to harmless reinforcing fibers. However, the large number of uncoated asbestos cement panels that have already been laid require cleaning and refurbishment because of their surface contamination and weathering. 1 shows such a plate 10, which carries a large number of dirt particles and weathering dust 16 and loose asbestos fibers 12 on its weathered surface 14.

Zur Reinigung und Sanierung der Plattenoberfläche 14 wird gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ein Epoxidharzgemisch aus seinen Reaktionskomponenten Bisphenol-A und einem Polyaminhärter in stöchiometrischem Verhältnis angesetzt und im Lieferungsgebinde mit einem elektrischen Rührstab mindestens drei Minuten gemischt, bis eine homogene streichfähige Mischung vorliegt. Das Bisphenol-A ist mit einem grünen anorganischen Pigment eingefärbt und mit einem Thixotropiermittel aus Polyethylenfasern gefüllt. Die Topfzeit des auf diese Weise angesetzten Reaktionsgemischs beträgt zwei bis vier Stunden. Nach Fertigstellung des Gemischs wird eine aus unbeschichteten verwitterten und verschmutzten Asbestplatten der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Art bestehende Gebäudefassade mit einem Flächenstreicher mit dem pastösen Reaktionsharz eingestrichen. Dabei werden die Oberfläche 14 der Platten 10 und die darauf befindlichen Schmutz- und Staubteilchen 16 sowie Asbestfasern 12 mit dem Reaktionsharz benetzt bzw. in diesen eingebettet. Hierbei ergibt sich eine Reaktionsharzschicht 18 mit einer Schichtdicke von etwa 500 µm, was einer Beschichtungsmenge von etwa 500 g/m2 entspricht. Etwaige Fehlbeschichtungen können an der durch die Einfärbung sich ergebenden Beschichtungsfarbe leicht erkannt und korrigiert werden.For cleaning and refurbishing the plate surface 14, an epoxy resin mixture of its reaction components bisphenol-A and a polyamine hardener is prepared in a stoichiometric ratio and mixed in the delivery container with an electric stir bar for at least three minutes until a homogeneous spreadable mixture is obtained. The bisphenol-A is colored with a green inorganic pigment and filled with a thixotropic agent made of polyethylene fibers. The pot life of the reaction mixture prepared in this way is two to four Hours. After completion of the mixture, a building facade consisting of uncoated, weathered and soiled asbestos panels of the type shown in FIG. 1 is coated with a surface brush with the pasty reaction resin. The surface 14 of the plates 10 and the dirt and dust particles 16 and asbestos fibers 12 thereon are wetted or embedded in the reaction resin. This results in a reaction resin layer 18 with a layer thickness of approximately 500 μm, which corresponds to a coating quantity of approximately 500 g / m 2 . Any incorrect coatings can be easily recognized and corrected from the coating color resulting from the coloring.

Nach einer Wartezeit von etwa 30 bis 60 Minuten wird die in ihrer Viskosität schon etwas erhöhte aber immer noch pastöse Reaktionsharzschicht 18 mit einer Flächenspachtel bis zu der in Fig. 2 durch eine strichpunktierte Linie 20 angedeuteten Ebene zusammen mit den darin eingebetteten Schmutz-, Staub- und Faserpartikeln 16,12 von unten nach oben abgetragen und im Liefergebinde gesammelt. Dort wird das abgetragene Reaktionsharz mit den abgelösten Schmutz-, Staub- und Faserpartikeln unter Herstellung eines homogenen Gemischs verrührt und unter Einbindung dieser Partikel ausgehärtet. Nach etwa 24 Stunden kann das ausgehärtete Reaktionsharz als Hausmüll entsorgt werden.After a waiting time of about 30 to 60 minutes, the already somewhat increased but still pasty reaction resin layer 18 is filled with a spatula up to the level indicated in FIG. 2 by a dash-dotted line 20 together with the dirt, dust and and fiber particles 16, 12 removed from the bottom up and collected in the delivery container. There, the removed reaction resin is mixed with the detached dirt, dust and fiber particles to produce a homogeneous mixture and cured with the inclusion of these particles. After about 24 hours, the hardened reactive resin can be disposed of as household waste.

Der auf der Oberfläche 14 der Asbestzementplatte verbleibende Anteil 22 des Reaktionsharzes verbindet sich beim Aushärten innig mit der Plattenoberfläche 14 unter Einbindung der dort noch vorhandenen Schmutz-, Staub- und Faserteilchen 16,12. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich eine Verfestigung der Plattenoberfläche. Die sich hierbei bildende Schicht 22 dient zugleich als Grundierung, die mit einer Deckschicht 24 beispielsweise aus einer einkomponentigen lichthärtenden Acrylatdispersion beschichtet werden kann (Fig. 3).The one remaining on the surface 14 of the asbestos cement sheet Portion 22 of the reactive resin binds intimately to the plate surface 14 during curing, incorporating the dirt, dust and fiber particles 16, 12 still present there. In this way the plate surface is solidified. The layer 22 that forms here also serves as a primer, which can be coated with a cover layer 24, for example from a one-component light-curing acrylate dispersion (FIG. 3).

Zusammenfassend ist folgendes festzustellen: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Reinigen und Sanieren von unbeschichteten Asbestzementplatten 10, die als Fassadenverkleidungen oder Dacheindeckungen von Gebäuden verwendet werden. Zunächst werden die Asbestzementplatten 10 an ihrer verschmutzten und/oder verwitterten Oberfläche 14 mit einem Reaktionsharz in pastöser Form flächendeckend beschichtet und benetzt. Die auf diese Weise gebildete Reaktionsharzschicht 18 wird sodann während einer Wartezeit von 30 bis 60 Minuten auf der Plattenoberfläche belassen. Anschließend wird ein Teil der Reaktionsharzschicht 18,20 in noch pastösem Zustand unter Mitnahme von eingebetteten losen Schmutz-, Staub- und/oder Faserteilchen 16,12 von der Plattenoberfläche 14 abgetragen, extern gesammelt und ausgehärtet. Der auf der Plattenoberfläche 14 verbleibende Teil 22 der Reaktionsharzschicht wird unter Verfestigung ihres Untergrundes ausgehärtet und dient in dieser Form als Grundierung für eine Deckbeschichtung 24.In summary, the following can be stated: The invention relates to a method for cleaning and renovating uncoated asbestos cement panels 10, which are used as facade cladding or roof covering of buildings. First, the asbestos cement panels 10 are coated on their dirty and / or weathered surface 14 with a reactive resin in a pasty form and are coated all over. The reaction resin layer 18 thus formed is then left on the plate surface for a waiting period of 30 to 60 minutes. A part of the reaction resin layer 18, 20 is then removed from the plate surface 14 in the still pasty state with entrainment of embedded loose dirt, dust and / or fiber particles 16, 12, collected externally and hardened. The part 22 of the reaction resin layer remaining on the plate surface 14 is hardened while solidifying its substrate and in this form serves as a primer for a top coating 24.
